SC lawmaker proposes abortion funding ban

[ccharles000]

A house budget panel has approved a proposal that would stop state insurance payments on abortions for rape or incest victims. But, lawmakers admit the proposal is more about making a point than saving tax dollars.

State Representative Rex Rice, who is running for Congress, wants to alter the state insurance plan. It currently covers abortions for state workers in extreme situations including rape, incest or when the mother's life is in danger. But Rice says there's never a reason to end a pregnancy and he wants to change the law.

There's not enough money flowing in, to keep South Carolina's budget balanced. Lawmakers are grappling with the issue, daily. State Rep. Rex Rice says one way to cut the budget is to create boundaries on how tax dollars can be used.

"Personally I don't feel like my tax dollars should go to fund abortions," said Rex Rice.

1. God, what a bunch of Taliban wannabees.

Mind your own fucking business, Rice. Personally, I don't feel my tax dollars should go to fund your LIFE. What a total pig.

2. Obviously, the PTB in SC and Va are in a race to the bottom of the cesspool.

Lucky me. I'm from Va. and live in SC.

Unfortunately, this is what happens when the "fringe" is ignored as a creditable threat. They've already destroyed the Republican Party and are now hard at work polishing off the Dems. I shudder to think what this country will look like when the coup is complete.

3. "The Cult of the Fetus" strikes again...

But Rice says there's never a reason to end a pregnancy...

:puke:

Yeah, Rex... because the lives and health of women are nothing when compared with the life of a fetus... :eyes:
